How Long Does It Take for Dissolvable Stitches to Dissolve? (Open Rhinoplasty)

Lilly23
i had an open rhinoplasty 11 days ago and have dissolvable stitches placed on my columella. My surgeon did not remove them as he said they will fall themselves. How long will it take for the stitches on my columella to dissolve?
